2 Comments on Adventures in YA Episode 006: Back to (Boarding) School

  1. Another boarding school book that I think is beautifully written but maybe flew under the radar is The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth Laban. Loved this episode!! 🙂

  2. Less than 48 hours after listening to this podcast, I have just finished Belzhar. It was the one book you talked about that jumped at me. It was not I expected, but so much more. About half way through, I wasn’t sure if I wanted my 13 year old to read it. Now that I’m done, I want him to choose to read it. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s a powerful book that has left me feeling like I can not even think of reading a Facebook post for at least a couple hours. I just need to marinate in all the feels.
